2009 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · BN09 BPE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 29 April 2025 at 140,197 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just one or two miles after the previous pass. This suggests the owner only addresses the vehicle to rectify immediate failures, such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor adjustments, rather than performing a comprehensive preventative service beforehand. At 17 years old, the Alfa Romeo Mito has covered an average of approximately 8,247 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent annual movement, with 3,280 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 7,461 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This regular use indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals and rubber components over time. While the recent records show no recorded defects or advisories, the lack of noted wear necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear subframe, which are common on this model. Given the age, the state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be evaluated for signs of tearing or leaking. The braking system also requires checking for binding calipers or excessive disc thinning, as the clean MOT history reflects only the minimum legal condition required to pass at the time of the test.
